One way is to pull in the dimension attribute into the fact table as a calculated column

Hi @lennardsomera ,

 

First of all thank you lbendlin  for the quick reply and solution.
Apart from that you can also try the following calculation column:

StaffName = LOOKUPVALUE('Dimension'[StaffName],'Dimension'[StaffID],'Fact'[Value])
